Main Master

Edward Voss isn’t new to being a Master. In Whitlock, he thrived in his role, but he was never quite satisfied. The Gardens can give Edward something he’s never had…a repeat of his past. One so twisted and sick, it’s haunted him as much as it's become his fantasy.

Laura was a glimpse. A swift dream of what could have been.

It was also a kill unrivaled.

With a timeline on the horizon, both play a game neither one of them may live through. Will Master B-0999 be content with recreating his past, or will they both be forced into a future neither of them are prepared for?

A dream is only a dream until the reality of it becomes sobering. -Elec

All stories within this series are so different and make fantastic reading. The same can be said for Master B-0999.

Every master at the Garden Of The Gods think that they have all the power, all the rights. Well with this instalment more rules are revealed and boy does it add to the master/ slave dynamic.

Master B-0999 is certainly pushed to the edge by slave fc 1315. The events that happen sway more to one than the other and again Main Master Elec shows his supreme power.

Unless/until AA announces that she plans to finish this story, do not read this book! This is not a complete book!!!

Alaska/AA screwed me over again! This book ends with a HUGE cliffhanger, yet it’s referred to as a “standalone,” and as far as I tell, AA has no plan to ever give us the ending to this story. I am so, so, so incredibly frustrated!!! Basically, we get half the story, then all of a sudden it ends, and we’re wondering what happened to the rest of the book! The worst part is that this is not the first time AA has done this... Her stories are usually phenomenal, but like this one, they are sometimes grossly incomplete, making them a tease and a major waste of time. On top of that, like all of her books, this one needs to be professionally proofread and edited (it is inundated with typos, grammatical errors, punctuation mistakes and doesn’t follow the Chicago Manual of Style guidelines). Because her stories are so innovative and exciting, I overlooked those distractions for years, but after reading yet another book that ends without closure, I need to boycott her.

This was another good installment of this set of novellas. The further along we get, the more we learn about the rules/way of life in the new hidden city of depravity.
While this wasn't a favourite of mine, the twisted mind benders and games will have your brain whirring.
You'll get caught up in the delusions and also be rooting for the slave after all she's been through both past and present.
For me personally this ended way too fast (yes I know it's a novella, but you'll understand when reading).
Hopefully we'll go back to exploring more of GOTG in the next one, and maybe hopefully seeing some of the earlier characters.
No matter what happens, I can't wait.

Another Master from the Garden of gods. All the Masters and Mistresses have different stories and needs. In this story we meet Master B-0999 who has a breeding kink (but on a darker side).

It was a great story with lots of twists and turns and angsts just isn’t my cup of tea per se (the breeding kink) but the author made an amazing job to keep the reader interested. My absolute favorite part in this story is fc1315.

Now go read it

captivating. raw. twisted.

Oh hot damn. A.A. Dark is back at it again and I am here for it. If you’ve read and loved the previous Whitlock stories you won’t want to miss these deliciously sinful delights. If you enjoy dark and bloody reads with that grit and fire that keeps you wanting more, this is also a perfect place to dive into the world and see if you like it.

This series will be short stories following a Mistress or Master as they partake in the Garden of the Gods. Be warned this is Static White. Enter at your own risk.

Master B-0999 takes charge and boy did I love to watch him dominate. These two characters are raw and real. They open up and spill their dark hearts and souls on the pages. The story takes you on a wild ride I never wanted to end. It’s twisted and delightful. There wasn’t a moment my heart felt safe. They’re explosive and captivating. Words can’t express how close I feel to them. I kneel in honor of the pen strokes that created this world. It earned ten stars and all the love my dark little heart has to give.

“She was a slave, and I was a Master. I called her wife, and I put myself in the role of her husband. We didn’t know each other, yet I was trying to knock her up before I killed her, just to see if I could.”

This one was interesting. Master B-0999 has a breeding kink but most slaves in the past never made it that far with this master.

“Laura” is different. She reminds the Master of a woman from his past. He wants to try and breed this woman, wife her up, and marry her… in his own twisted way.

“She would love me or she wouldn’t love anything at all.”

The thing is with this story, it’s story about about survival. Madeline aka Laura is a slave and she’s gone through hell as a breeder slave.
Who’s manipulating who??
What will she do to stay alive?

I read this 7 days after giving birth myself and my heart went out to Madeline. 😭

This story seems unfinished. We don’t know the outcome of this Master and Slave. And I’m dying to know the outcome.

Master B-0999 was fantastic, bloody, exciting and definitely another thrilling story in the Garden of The Gods series. While he isn’t a favorite Master of mine, I was still intrigued by his story and the way that his slave FC 1315 was able to manipulate him continually throughout.

Master B-0999 wanted a breeder to fulfill his dark desires and bloody fantasies but what he got was a slave that was willing to die to protect herself and any potential child she may have. The interesting relationship these two forged kept me captivated with their story. They go through a lot emotionally and physically to get to an ending which was wild and intriguing.

I really enjoyed this story as it was dark, delicious and a little twisted. I can’t wait for the next one to see how much darker things are going to get at the Garden!

Fantastic addition to the series. We continue on our adventure through The Garden Of The Gods with a new Master and slave. The characters are flushed out very well, the story is very good, flows well and a quick read. We learn more about the differences between TGOTG and Whitlock and the two Main Masters. I myself, love learning everything that is shown with each new peek into this world. This is a fairy bloody one so mind those triggers! the spunk and brains of the slave in this book is wonderful. I'm hoping that all of the characters will show up in future books, I can't get enough! I highly recommend this book and the whole series.

You know there is something about that author, when you enjoy and start to like the most evil characters in the book.
It is incredible how she manages to grab you and show you the villains soft spots and let’s you sit and crawl through dirt, blood snd gore in the next second.

Brilliant author, extremely well written horror erotica. 5 bloody stars

golden series

I didnt love this one as much as the others but that is okay it was still really good. Both the master Edward and the slave Madeline just aggravated me so bad. But like usual, my sexy main master Elec came into play at the end. I cannot wait for his book

Alaska, Alaska, ALASKA! What are you doing to me?! Each new story of the Gardens brings about a new kink and depraved dynamic and apparently, I’m here for them all. Master B-0999 is no different and we’ve finally reached the breeders. Let me tell you, I SCREAMED when I realized how this connected to Boston and Anna (iykyk)–I’m absolutely obsessed with this world building that has been occurring and it makes me crave more and more of any and all things Alaska will give us. Master B-0999 was oddly likable despite his depravity and I really loved the fight, pushback, and manipulation FC-1315 shot right back at him. She was one of our smartest, feistiest slaves yet and I’m absolutely here for it. I was GASPING at the ending and I’m crossing all my fingers and toes that we will see more of this pair in future novellas.

“Stupid woman. I wasn’t here to save her. I was here to make my wildest, bloodiest fantasy come true.”

“If I thought I knew the approach to deal with a psychopath, I didn’t have a clue at all. Pain fed this man. My misery was a treat to him. Every show of discomfort had my Master’s gaze eating me alive.”

Edward Voss is use to being a Master. In fact, he revels in it. He’s had plenty of slaves and delights in their fear. He gets off on their fight and the bloody end. But this time, he devises a diabolical plan. He will find his next Laura and she will be everything he desires.

FC1315 was taken and became a slave. Her trauma is one she’s still trying to recover from, but the depths of immortality she has encountered in this hellish place are limitless. How could she suffer through a travesty like the one she just endured? No beast of a man could be that cruel, could he?

This is the ultimate game of survival for her. While her Master wields all the power, can she convince him his fantasy can be their truth? Can she give him what he wants without sacrificing herself?

This story is full of delusions that trip you up and melt your mind. Never knowing what’s a hallucination versus reality. The darker the fantasy, the more likely it’s unfolding before you in this new city of deviance.

Alaska has done it again! This book is warped and has you questioning your sanity. Did that really happen? Did he just do that?! And she liked it?!!!!

This is a quick burst of a read that hooks instantly. In this series, we meet a new Main Master who is immediately intriguing. Is he as wicked and cruel as Bram? What will he do when the stakes rise, and one of his slaves faces a harsh reality?

This novella had it all! It was wicked, steamy, and twisted! I love how Alaska pulls you in with all the demented and grisly fantasies. There is no escaping the clutches of the Garden of the Gods!

I love the connection this has to the 24690 series! It has different players, but the concept is just as ominous. Definitely a quick and dirty read!

entertaining, but starting to crave more 😅

This book is a little like a stagnant relationship. it’s not when you reach the point where morning breath, saved legs & pits no longer matters—no, it’s the step further. When routine kicks in, and the days start blending together.

While I’m still in love with GofG, I’m no longer passionate 🙃 we’ve had a mistress, a guy who fell deeply in love, a couple, taboo where he found a way to get the baby, and now a breeder—it should be fresh, but it feels stagnant.

It’s not because it all kicks off with the same auction, and the same speech from Elec… it’s because it’s the same recipe. I’m desperately wanting to dive deeper beneath the delectable, heinous skin of it all.

Who is Elec? What makes him tick? Sure, we got halfway there with the couple, but it was a tease—the starter before the juicy steak. I know he’s not the main focus, but he’s the one I keep being drawn to, the only one that has so much depth I’m staying invested through reading the same speech.

The rest is almost the same thing. Interesting, but not tantalising. I wish the books were longer so i could really get invested, maybe even root for someone. Or perhaps finally get a better understanding of the Gardens 🤍🤍🤍

I didn't like this one as much as I did the others in this series. I usually love a good dark read and A.A. Dark is amazing for that. But this one just didn't do it for me. The roles were reversed to much in this one for me. The "master" was to wishy washy, flip flopping back an forth in his thoughts, to unsure of himself, and what he wanted. Whereas the "slave" in this story was to cold, hard, manipulative, and calculating for my liking. If the characters had been reversed it would have been a great story for me. But this way it just felt lacking and not really believable I guess?

It impacted my enjoyment of it. Definitely was not my cup of tea this time. I do highly encourage others who love dark reads to give it a try though, because this most definitely might be their cup of tea. As I said before A.A. Dark is amazing at writing dark books. I can't wait to see what the next book in the Garden of the Gods will be all about. I'm hoping that we get some marked as Oblivion soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Book 5 in series, Novella length

This not a dark romance, while romance is present it is classified as pitch black! Always check triggers!

Master B-0999 also known as Edward Voss,
Is a very experienced frequenter in this type of world. He had been going to Whitlock for 15 years but it just never satisfied him fully. After Whitlock fell, he waited 2 grueling years to be able to live out his fantasies again and this time he wouldn’t take it for granted. He would finally be able to live out his ultimate dream that Whitlock never could give him. The gardens offered breeders also known as crows and he could finally get a slave pregnant and either relive the killing of his pregnant wife OR draw it out and see what life could have been like for the two of them if he hadn’t killed her. Could he make his slave love him like Laura did at one point? Could he be a father? Or was he just destined to kill!

Loving all of A.A. Darks Garden of the Gods Novellas! This one was definitely unique compared to the other ones so far in the novella series. It was so dark and twisted and you wont wanna stop reading. Each novella has a different master and this one involves a breeder which is definitely different from the others and he goes out of his way to get what he wants. Edward is very dark and disturbing and hes gonna do what he can to get his slave to give him what he wants.

Then you get Slave fc1513. She is strong and independent and well unfortunately she is chosen by Edward Master B-0999 and she's gonna do whatever it takes to survive and make sure that he is happy.
The ending of course leaves you on a huge cliffhanger just like all the others and you will wanna know what's going to happen next!!

Eeehhh....so we have another really dark day in the Garden of the Gods. Master B-0999 has a breeder fantasy. He killed his first girlfriend in college because she told him she was pregnant, then told him he might not be the father. He has relived this fantasy many times over. But this new slave he purchased is different.

This was the first book in the series that I felt ended unfinished. They have all ended with some questions remaining, but this one had too many. And for me, this one was really hard to read, as we know children are involved, but we can only imagine how.

Still I am glad that I read it. And I can still only give four stars because of the grammar errors. So hold on, this one is gory and really, really twisted.

4 stars.

B-0999, Garden of the Gods Whitlock native Edward Voss has adjusted seamlessly in the Gardens.

Voss surfaces from Whitlock's undergrounds with his extreme cruel side intact, willing to stop at nothing to accomplish his warped ambitions.

Voss offers a fantastic portrayal of a crazy madman. His commitment to this illusion creates a highly morbid relationship with slave a former violinist music teacher.

I had to process Voss's evil ways after being put into his frame of mind.

Bravo to AA Dark for her brilliant creation of a grim society full of hideous men.

Breeding Kink

Another interesting read, this one had played with my emotions, I was a sobbing mess at one part.
As a reader for me anyway I get too invested and with these kind of reads they are so dark, twisted and sick. More so than some of the others.
I mean you got to have an open mind and a strong stomach when going into these reads.

Master and slave, this is where we come across a slave who has already had a baby while living at the gardens. As you can imagine esp if your a mother yourself. It was hard to read.
But still another amazing story.

maybe 2.5⭐️

This has been my least favorite of them all. I found myself skimming at times because of all the internal dialogue. I also wasn’t a fan of this particular pregnant trope…may be because I have two young babies myself, but yea, this one wasn’t for me. Also feel like the ending was …off? Like a cliffhanger maybe, but I thought these were stand-alones, so yea, not too sure about this one.

😱 YES 🙌🏼

I can’t even. Absolutely amazing AGAIN. Every time I’m sure there isn’t a new or original story available to come out of the GotG series.. I’m happily proven wrong.

fc 1315 is a powerhouse. I’m not even ashamed to admit I inappropriately laughed at certain points. 😂 her fire was 🤌🏼

Hello toxic love .. I can’t wait to see more of B-0999

Back to the Gardens

I always love going back to the Gardens. This one has Master B-0999 and his special request for a breeder, just not in the way we think. His eye catches fc1513 and then the games begin.
I really did enjoy this book and hopefully we can maybe at some point we can circle back to them.

I love this authors dark books, this one for me was "eh". I couldn't get a grasp on the master. He was supposed to be this dark, evil man and in this book he wasn't. They slave was good but I just could get into the story and then there was the abrupt ending. It states this is a stand alone book but thinking there has to be another book, why would you end it like you did?

Talk about whiplash! Truthfully, this was one of the better ones. the FMC went from kinda whiney to figuring out what she needed to do to survive. The MMC kinda was likable towards the end, and then at the end, I didn't like him, but for where this story is place I mean he's not the worst. Definitely excited to continue my AA Dark journey!

A new Master has entered the Gardens and he's looking for a breeder. He's dark and twisted with an agenda like those before him in the series. What he doesn't count on is his slaves survival instincts are strong. I love this kind of heroine. She knows how to play his game and she's playing to win.
Master B-0999 is a great addition to the series.
I read an arc and willingly posted my review.

This might be my favorite installment of Garden of the Gods. I absolutely love when the story involves a woman taking her power back. Or manipulating a situation to her advantage when she’s in a bad situation.

I actually love these short novellas and am excited to read the rest of the garden books. This is a spin-off to Whitlock so you get the same vibe, just different and each book is of a different master or mistress. *This book has the breeding kink*
